This "city" is actually more like a Disneyland park, except that their main focus is on to experiment with futuristic commercial ideas/concepts.
Here is the list of a few companies that co-invest with Toyota:
- Nissin (Instant food company) to "Create and evaluating food environments to inspire new 'food cultures'".
- UCC (Japanese coffee maker) to "Explore the potential value of coffee through futuristic cafe experiences".
- Daikin Industries (Air conditioner manufacturer) to "Experiment with 'pollen-free spaces'".
I don't know exactly what they are trying to test (I guess that they don't know either), but it's meant to be an industrial theme park than a real city with municipal authority.
